Abstract
A number of transducers are produced on a substrate, the transducers positioned on the substrate in non-linear rows. The substrate is then sliced into rows. Each row is then lapped with a curved lapping plate. Finally, each row is sliced into individual sliders, each slider now having an air bearing surface with non-zero camber.
